[QUOTE="allenp42, post: 185130, member: 8785"] 5 ohms is way too high for what I see on that stator. I would expect to see no more that 0.5 to 0.8 ohms. This is purely a guess on my part based on wire size and rough guess on amount wire on the 3 coils. To put things into perspective, 5 ohms indicates a high resistance connection (somewhere) or 450- 500 feet of wire. Since that amount of wire is not possible, you either have a measurement error or a really bad connection somewhere that is common to both windings. Yep. An isolated ground stator system with a "standard" rectifier/regulator gives you a full wave bridge setup with regulation. You may want to go back and read my comment in post #23 regarding my suspicion on the Rec/Reg you have. By the way, rewinding the coil is not rocket science. I feel sure you have the skills by now to tackle it, and test it right on the spot. I'll gladly give you a few pointers or do it for you. It should take less than an hour to rewind it. Will also share where I get the magnet wire. You're looking at no more than $10 for the wire, $15-$50 for the rec/reg and some elbow grease. I doubt you'll even raid the advil bottle for this project. [/QUOTE]
